Um, does it do you any good?
You have a 10 bolt front...essentially the same thing. Unless you are swapping to an 8 lug rear, in which case, you could use the outers on this to convert your 10 bolt to 8 lug.
But..thats not a D44 front i dont' think. Its a 10 bolt like yours...

Well I eventually want to do a 14 bolt SF and wanted to build the front separate from my 10 bolt so there is no down time. This D44 is already 8 lug saving around $500 in parts to convert my 10 bolt to 8 lug.
It looks like a D44 to me.
I thought the 10 bolt was more rounded than that.

The 10 bolt has those little ears on the bottom, don't think the 44 does.
Either way, unless its rebulit, or you know its condition, that sounds really high.
I paid $300 for a 10 bolt front/14ff set wiht 4.10's in rough shape. Granted, i didn't end up using a lot of that setup, but $400 for a front is expensive.
If you want to make a trip up this way, I have a full 3/4 ton set, rear needs nothing, front needs bj's and rotors. Hell, and for less than that front.

That's a 10 bolt for sure and definitely no flat top knuckle on the passenger side.

Thanks Chris for clarifying. I know I can trust your opinion. I noticed the knuckle too.

I wouldnt pay $250 for that ever. Not only does it look like poo more so than it normally would after 27 years of use, someone painted it orange. From what Ive seen, people who dont have any ability other than painting random ****, are the ones to not buy stuff from.
And the rotors look wasted which adds another $100 to get it useable/safe, not to mention whatever else happens to be wrong.
Personally I wouldnt pay much more than $100 for a 10bolt or D44, but I know in different parts of the country theres not the supply of parts that we have in the midwest.
